This summer, the National Park Service welcomed the first all-female fire crew to Denali National Park & Preserve, with the seven-woman team spending months training and working in Alaska.
welcomed the first all-female fire crew to Denali National Park & Preserve, with the seven-woman team spending months training and working in Alaska.
“These all-female fire crews allow women to see other women working in fire,” McKee said, “which can help them to envision their own opportunities.” “I feel like every person on this team brings something different, and we all are strong-willed and strong with different skill sets,” said Olivia Lawrence, also a crew member for 2022. “That really makes it a great team that can do a lot. We’ve achieved a lot this season, and just seeing how we all can work together and have such a great experience together has been great.”
“Leading a crew wasn’t really something I wanted to pursue again,” Myers said. “I was working at Katmai for the Park Service last summer, but when I heard about the opportunity to lead the first female fire crew, I couldn’t say no.”
